Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 9 Reveal and Release Imminent, Out in January

CaptD

Fingers crossed for PSVR2 support and at release, or at least announced that it is coming so people can ensure their first playthrough is the correct one.
Plus PSVR2 support for RE7 would be grand as well, just a simple port would do (for me), dualsense is fine.

@colonelkilgore I always think it is good to be a little behind with RE as they often do gold editions, decent dlc and other things like VR. But I shake my head at someone who is 25+ years behind.

Re: Returnal Studio Housemarque Teases News for Tomorrow

CaptD

Fingers crossed for PSVR2 although that would be highly unlikely and tbh it is starting to feel like if you want any First party games in VR then get a PC. The June showcase can't come soon enough.
(Apologies for the moan, the Monday blues have taken over )

Re: Interview: Hangar 13 on TopSpin 2K25's Triumphant PS5 Return

CaptD

After the complete mishandling of Mafia 3 trophies I won't touch another Hanger 13 game.
First the game was released broken, then fixed, then broken and finally abandoned. See the thread on psnprofiles for more info, that thread is now many many pages deep, people have even created patch regression tools for that one blasted game.

Re: Xbox Planning to Release the 'Majority' of Its Exclusives on PS5

CaptD

How Phil, Matt and Aaron avoided being part of the 1900 ex employees is beyond me.
But hey not content with failing in the console space they now want to fail in the handheld space. Absolutely bizarre.
Of course the crazy shilling fanbase and shilling media is partly to blame, I still remember the end of first year report by the dimwits on IGN, if I remember rightly they gave the PS5 after Returnal, Astro, Demons Souls a B- grade and gave the "we have nothing" Xbox a B. Bonkers.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 521

CaptD

Just finishing up House of Ashes, pretty good even if a bit dark and less than likeable characters.
Also started Tales of Arise.

@Darude84 That is a great deal and I would have jumped at that but unfortunately I live in the U.K., thanks for posting though and I will wait for a similar deal over here....I'm in no rush though as I'm still enjoying PSVR1.

Re: GTA 6 on PS5 Will Seemingly Include ScHoolboy Q's Music

CaptD

@Shushibda Indeed, the 80s were the best and one of the reasons I dislike GTA5 was because the radio stations just didn't appeal to me. I do like to just cruise around listening to some block rocking beats (90s stuff was pretty good as well although the decline was clearly audible).
Again, personal opinion.

Re: PS Plus Essential Game for March 2024 Leaked

CaptD

Wasn't too interested in this game initially as it seemed too rage inducing, for me at least, but since they have introduced an easier mode I'm quite looking forward to it.

@colonelkilgore Turning off the PS3 might help.

Re: 900 PlayStation Employees Laid Off, London Studio Closed

CaptD

Hope everyone affected lands on their feet.
I know it is popular to blame Jim for all of this but I also think Hermen is equally responsible, if not more so....can't wait for that Horizon remaster.
I won't go on about my previous psvr2 comment but I would have thought the easy money would have been to move London Studio over to a PSVR1 port studio as I'm sure many PSVR2 owners would gladly pay to play their beloved PSVR1 games again, not to mention new to PSVR games as many PSVR1 are still unbeaten.

Re: Video: One Year Later, Is PSVR2 Doing Enough?

CaptD

I suspect Gamertag will lose his bet.
Before the PC announcement I would have put it at one or two this year but now I think zero which is sad, even upsetting. I hope to be wrong as it has put me right off purchasing one until more PSVR1 first party ports(hell even one would be nice) or announcements (I did hear that Twisted Metal might be coming as a hybrid game).

Re: Sony Testing PSVR2 Compatibility on PC, Aiming for This Year

CaptD

@thefourfoldroot1 I hope you are correct because when I read this story my immediate thought was "oh dear first party software support looks even more unlikely now".
Unlike many people I don't see the positives from this (for ps5 players) although I guess it might be the cost of the headset down in the long term so there is that.
I hope I am wrong with all the negative thoughts.

Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About All of the Xbox Multiplatform Rumours?

CaptD

If it cuts down on the crazy number of stupid Xbox fanboys on YouTube/Twitter/X/whatever then I'm all for it.

Joking aside I wonder if it is why Major Nelson left, he probably thought "oh no way am I dealing with those obsessed fanboys...I'm outta here"
Pete Hines thoughts would also be interesting.

Re: Xbox Set to Announce Multi-Platform Plans Next Week

CaptD

Well I think we all know now that the narrative "Gamepass is profitable" was a bit of a porkie although I think we all suspected it.
Anyway sad day as competition is needed although Sony hasn't had competition for quite some time, and it shows.

@thefourfoldroot1 What about Flight simulator on PSVR2? That would be awesome.

Re: Stilt Swaps Hands for Big Springs on PSVR2

CaptD

@ztpayne7 Yeah I didn't mean to derail the topic.
And yes I did see that Sonys incompetence had struck again and the Devs said something about it not being on their bingo card.
Still it seems to be in a fairly good state (only from what I've seen and I've yet to play it) although hotus support seems a bit broken, however there may be other bugs so waiting for the patch might be best.
I did hear that both dualsense and sense controllers are supported.

Again apologies for derailing.

Re: Stilt Swaps Hands for Big Springs on PSVR2

CaptD

It actually does look kind of fun.
In other news, Ultrawings 2 stealth dropped on the store yesterday. Looks pretty great (as the original was) and a decent price of £16.
Hopefully PushSq will do a review, there is loads of content in the game so I don't expect it anytime soon.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Director Doesn't Get Fan 'Consternation' Surrounding Re-Release

CaptD

It is interesting because I was reading a community post on PS Access's YouTube channel and the comments were mostly pretty negative which is surprising because their comment section is normally very Pro PS and positive.
Imo I think PS players have reached a tipping point with all these remasters, GaaS and lack of a showcase/roadmap.
It is going to be interesting if the Horizon remaster is true because that will really cause a scene.

With regards to the TLoU2 remaster, I actually think a £10 upgrade is okay whereas the Part1 remake I did consider a cash grab.
